On 6th June, I went on a road trip from Faridabad to Sahastradhara in Dehradun along with my family. We were five adults and two kids with a completely packed trunk that had five strolley bags and a portable charging kit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>From Faridabad to Dehradun<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I started the journey with a full charge at home in <a href=\"https:\/\/evjoints.com\/tools\/ev-chargingstationlocator\/faridabad\/\">Faridabad<\/a>. The first leg of the drive was to Devrana Mansurpur Midway, which is around 121 kilometres. By the time I reached there, the battery had dropped to 53 percent. I used a 60 kilowatt DC charger at a Hyundai outlet powered by Statiq. The car was charged back to 100 percent in about an hour. The charging load averaged around 20 kilowatt during the session.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5224 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2419-300x138.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"138\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2419-300x138.jpg 300w, https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2419-768x354.jpg 768w, https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2419-600x276.jpg 600w, https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2419-750x345.jpg 750w, https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2419.jpg 782w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/138;\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Starting point:<\/strong> Faridabad (100% battery at residence)<\/p>\n<p><strong>First leg:<\/strong> 121 km to Devrana Mansurpur Midway<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Battery left:<\/strong> 53%<\/li>\n<li><strong>Charger used:<\/strong> 60 kW DC charger at Hyundai (powered by Statiq)<\/li>\n<li><strong>Charging time:<\/strong> 1 hour<\/li>\n<li><strong>Battery after charge:<\/strong> Back to 100%<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-5225 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2420-138x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"138\" height=\"300\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2420-138x300.jpg 138w, https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2420-471x1024.jpg 471w, https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2420-276x600.jpg 276w, https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IMG_2420.jpg 480w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 138px) 100vw, 138px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 138px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 138\/300;\" \/><\/p>\n<p>From there I continued the next stretch to Sahastradhara in Dehradun which was around 160 kilometres.

I used the MG portable charger overnight and got the car charged back to 100 percent by morning.

At that point the battery had come down to 33 percent. I stopped at an Adani fast charger at Badheri. In just 30 minutes I managed to charge up to 72 percent. From there I drove back to Faridabad which was about 151 kilometres.

The <a href=\"https:\/\/evjoints.com\/ev-guide\/mg-windsor-ev-battery-rental-range-charging-options-explained\/\">MG Windsor EV<\/a> has a 38 kilowatt hour battery and the overall efficiency I observed was roughly between 6 and 6.5 kilometres per kilowatt hour. This was under full load and mixed driving conditions including hilly terrain and traffic.<\/p>\n<p>This trip gave me confidence that even a compact electric car like the MG Windsor EV can handle long routes comfortably. With a little planning and the right tools such as a personal charging kit it becomes easy to manage charging on the go. If anyone is wondering whether EVs can take on intercity travel the answer is a clear yes.<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to share your EV story too?
